SMALLTOWN BOY
“…The answers you seek will never be found at home.
The love that you need
will never be
found at home...”
Bronski Beat broke through with the single "Smalltown Boy" in 1984. Its powerful message dealt with the struggles of gay youth.
The song's lyrics describe a young gay boy who must leave his small town due to the lack of acceptance and support. Amidst the negativity, there is a line about resilience: "you never cried to them, just to your soul".
The single peaked at #3 in Britain and was a Top 10 hit in parts of Europe, Canada and Australia.
As

spotify playlist. Find it and the other Caffé Latté playlists at:
